French King Louis XV’s perfumed
court helped fuel the perfume
industry, which helped mask
body odors of the wealthy at
Versailles. Just imagine the
throngs of people with all of
those clothes in stuffy rooms
and no baths. Pee-Yew.
A
lthough the process has
evolved through the
centuries, the purpose is still
the same—to make things
smell better. As with perfume, some work
better than others and sometimes it comes
down to individual taste as to whether
they like the smell or if it works for them.
We talked to Texas and Arizona-based
Waste Partners Environmental’s regional
manager Ronnie Kendrix about what they
use and what has worked for them.
“As for the toilet deodorizer, in the
Dallas and Houston market areas, we use
a chemical produced by J&J Chemical,
appropriately named Destroyer SX
Jackpot. It comes in varying ‘flavors’(non
edible): Bubble gum, Cherry, and Spice to
name a few. This chemical is used for the
sanitation of all accessible unit areas, as
well as replenishing the tank fluid freshly.
“For our Austin area, we use a product
also produced by J&J Chemical, Ever
Pro Platinum. This product is a bagged
tablet deodorizer, which is either placed
in the 5-gallon tote for cleaning and
replenishing the unit, or placed directly
in the unit waste tank and water added. It
also comes in varying scents. We also use
a deodorizer spray in this area of service,
due to the higher volume of special event
services, and the differing service details
in relation.”
“The benefits of the chemicals we use
are multiple:
1. Strong scent
3. ost effective—multiple applications in
C
service, (i.e. cleaning hands on areas,
and replenishing waste tank)
4. ultiple scents—by changing scents
M
periodically, the users do not lose
sight of the freshness each service by
becoming complacent/adjusted to
recurring scents
“The negatives are minimal:
1. ith our pre-mix application in Dallas
W
and Houston, it does not allow for
possible water service, (i.e. filling sinks
or water tanks with service trucks).
2. ith the tabs use in Austin, the
W
product waste rate is higher, by loss
of bags, over use of tabs, etc.”
TAKE A BATH
As society learned more about hygiene,
people began taking more frequent baths
thus lessoning the need for perfume.
Southland Organics uses that same
principle and tackles the smell at the
source. Southland Organics Port breaks
down waste in tanks and clears bio-solids.
In septic tanks with a drain field, it breaks
down solids and opens up drain lines.
“It contains a synergistic blend of
indigenous microbiology and bacterial
strains which have been scientifically
developed to cope with difficult
compounds and chemicals present,?? t????)=???5????U????q]???????????????)??????????????????????????????????)????????????????????????????????)????????????????????????????)????????%?????????????????????????????)???????????????????????????(+?q%?????????????????????)??????????????????????????????????)????????????????????????????????)???????????????????????=????????)???????????????????????????????)???????????????????????????Q??)???????????????????????????????)??????????????????????????????????)???????????????M??????????????????(????????????????????????????????t)=UP?=8?Q!?Q=]8()M??????????????????????????)??????Q??????A???A???????????????)???????????????????????????????)????????????????????????????????)???????????????????????)Q???????????????????????????????)??????????????????????????????????)??????????????????????????????????????) ???]????????????????????????)??????????????????e?????????????)?????????????????????????]?????)?????????????????????????????????)??????????????????????????????????)??????????????????????????????)?????????????)A???A????????????????? ????]???e?)?A???????Q????Q?????????????)?????????????????????A????????)???????????Q????Q????????????)?????????????????????????????????)?????????????????)????????????????A???A?????????????)?????????????????9??????????)M?????)???????Q???()I??????)???????????????????????????+?Z??(?(?
